They're still at it.  Same thing, never rang, called twice in a row (within moments).  No message.  I *never* call numbers back... that's a recently added trick to the scammer's bag – the return call will show up as a charge on your phone bill (like a 900 number).

For people cursing the DNCL... the DNCL can only protect you from legitimate marketers (and I'm sure it does a lot of that).  Illegal scammers use auto-dialers that simply call every possible number... 717-397-0000, 717-391-0001, -0002, -0003, and so forth.  There is no defense against this other than blocking every number you don't recognize that calls you.

What would be useful would be a database of numbers I could pre-emptively block... maybe there's an income opportunity there?  :)

Thank you! Pre-emptive block list is the best suggestion I have ever heard. I'll take a lifetime subscription!!!

If you're willing to pay, they make apps for that. Callguard, callblock, etc. The problem you may potentially encounter is false positives. While on trial with one of those apps, gf got a new number and it started blocking her calls from the new number. =P

Just got this one, same as everybody else here. Picked it up after a few rings, and they hung up. Now on block.

New Jersey 9:48am one ring hangup.
